Polyvagal exercises: for autonomic nervous system regulation

Description

Polyvagal theory, as proposed by Stephen Porges in 1994, provides practitioners with an understanding of the vagus nerve’s role in emotion regulation.

This workshop will draw on this theory and provide exercises to use with clients to help regulate the autonomic nervous system, enabling a greater feeling of safety and connection. 

These exercises are drawn from the work of trauma specialists such as Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Stanley Rosenberg and Arielle Schwartz.

The workshop is experiential and provides information on Polyvagal Theory and demonstrates exercises developed from this theory and how these can support clients to gain awareness of their autonomic state and find ways to bring themselves back into a place of safety.
